Could not start - receive black screen

Im having problems with my windows vista, I can't seem to start, I did close downs, restarts, and now I can't get it to work in safe mode. I don't know what to do, not the PC very warned.

original title: when you start the pc, windows never starts, so I have a black screen, will only work in safe mode

Restore point:

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

See you soon.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  • Re: Satellite A100-011 does not start, a black screen at the beginning

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-011, which is almost 5-6 years. It suddenly started to behave abnormal.

    First of all, I started to get a 1-2 sec black screen when he was running. The screen was on and off occasionally.

    After a few days, I could not started upward from my windows xp sp3 operating system. I tried to start in safe mode with networking to see if I had a few spy, virus or something. I ran avast, hijact, ad-aware and some more, but not found anything.

    Later, I tried to format my laptop with a xp professional, but this time I can't see any reflection that passes more fun running and a black screen. I just got a black screen at the beginning and it does not start.

    I plugged on a television screen, and here I have started. I have re-installed all the drivers and formatted, but all I get is a black screen on my laptop at the beginning.

    What should I do now? Do you think I have a problem with my screen of HW or a driver problem with nvidia geforce go 7600? Maybe I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance for all replies.

    If you can see the picture on the TV there are a few s laptop display problem. Y at - it some problem connection or display itself.

    You want to fix it yourself? You can disassemble the laptop?
    I mean if you have any experience with this kind of things that you should seek professional help.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 4 do not start and black screen

    I really hope that someone can help you.
    After 15 months my Toshiba A200 seems to have given up the ghost.

    I tried to put it on today and although the blue LED on hold came and the orange clear hard disk there was no other sign of life.
    I tried and tried, but it just wouldn't start and the screen did nothing but remains black.
    I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
    I have no memory material inserted or additional cards as a webcam. Everything worked fine until now.

    I'm not very technical so you know how to help, then please explain as simply as possible.

    I really appreciate any help you may be able to offer!

    > I tried to take the battery for more than 30 minutes, pressing F4 - but nothing.
    Why try to press F4?
    However, remove the battery, disconnect the AC adapter, wait up to an hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.

    If the laptop doesn t boot I think that the motherboard must be replaced. Ask your local ASP for help. They can order and swap the motherboard.

  • Dv6 6155TX: laptop does not start. Black screen. LED, work of fan key, function

    Hi, my laptop is not starting, not even the BIOS or the manufacturer logo. I checked the RAM, tried to reset the CMOS battery, removed the HARD drive. At first, it worked for 2 - 3 times, but after 5-6 hours when I turned it on, it does not. I don't think that this is a display problem because windows key + B produces no beep. CPU fan works fine. Help, please.

    Hi, the problem was the corruption of the BIOS because of power failure. I have reset the BIOS of the USB.

    Thanks for you answers.

  • A80 - 154 does not start - only black screen with strange resolution

    Hello!

    I have a big problem with the laptop. When I start it the power led and battery LED or power plug LED is blue (depending on what energy source is used, the problem appears both!). It's normal. But you don't see anything on the LCD screen. And nothing happens. Are lit, display is not black, no sound of the HARD drive or the fan. When I connected my external 17 '' TFT, he says that there is a signal, but the screen remained black.

    The signal has a resolution of 720 x 400 70 Hz, which is a very exotic resolution and a strange frequency! Anyone has any idea what it could be? I connected no matter what USB or other device. Only the laptop with or without the battery.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say what may be the problem. I think it s a hardware malfunction, but I don t know which part might have a failure. Maybe it's something wrong with a CPU or memory modules s.
    In this case, I recommend to contact the service partner. He can do some tests.

  • Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

    After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

    I think I have a BIOS problem, but I don't know how I could continue dealing with the repair. I have no success update the bios from usb flash. Any idea is appreciated.
    Update: managed to start with F8, choose to boot in safe mode and loading hangs after "load: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys"***.

    1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

    2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

    I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

    (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

    (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  • Want H8-1534: could not start HP Envy H8-1534 pc after Windows update 10, 1607

    Windows 10 has made automatically update 1607 (KB3176936) on the pc of my wife (HP Envy H8-1534) about 6 days ago. Since then I could not start the pc the first time I turn it on.

    When I hit the power button on the monitor lights up with the HP logo on black screen as usual but the loading icon (spinning points) does not start. Fans start, but there is no activity on the Tower in the way of flashing lights or beep sounds. If I turned off the pc by using the power button, wait 10 seconds and turn on again, the pc will start up as normal. So far, for the last 6 days, it took the 2nd attempt so that it starts the pc every time. It almost seems as if there are not able to go to the system except for the fans in this first attempt to start.

    I ran a test at startup by pressing the F2 key without no problems found. I disabled the SATA power management in the BIOS. I ran the Windows startup with no result repair. Here are the results of the txt file.

    I researched all the possibilities. I fear that this could begin to worsen. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Once I turned on the computer I got the following message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged. System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

    I just download Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and then turns off the computer with XP operating system. Once I turned on the computer I got the following message:

    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged;

    System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

    You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD

    Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair.

    Then, I started the computer with the Original installation CD and press 'r' by following the instructions. Then, I received this message:

    1: C:\WINDOWS

    Which Windows installation you want to connect?

    (to cancel, press enter)

    What do I put here?

    You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

    Here's how:

    I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

    It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

    You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

    You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

    A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
    http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

    Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

    Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

    Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

    http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

    Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

    Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

    When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

    Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

    When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

    Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

    A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

    Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

    CHKDSK c: /r

    This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

Maybe you are looking for
